CPS get dedicated appeals unit

The announcement that the CPS is setting up a dedicated Appeals unit has been welcomed by key participants in the Criminal Justice System including Master Venne Registrar of Criminal Appeals – it clearly should be if it achieves what has been missing – consistency of approach . Experience has been that CPS offices around the Country have been patchy to say the least in handling miscarriage investigations .

The question now will be how this will work and whether there are any other underlying objectives to the proposals . Now can we achieve a similar reform over the various Police forces and their response to the same issue .
